The Beyt Tikkun Synagogue is a Jewish Renewal congregation that was founded in 1996 by Rabbi Michael Lerner. Beyt Tikkun Synagogue is located in San Francisco and loosely affiliated with Lerner's Tikkun magazine. It describes itself as a "hallachic community bound by Jewish law".
Beyt Tikkun found itself in the middle of a controversy in 2005 when it invited anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan to speak during Yom Kippur services.Sheehan spoke during Yom Kippur services again in 2007.
Beyt Tikkun has no building of its own and the San Francisco Chronicle called it the "synagogue-without-walls in San Francisco and Berkeley", a term also used by The New York Times to describe the community before it was formalized in 1996.
